Qualtrics (L.Qualtrics 2018) allows users to create and disseminate online surveys.It is used by researchers and other analysts to field responses for the purposes of (academic) research.While users can manually download survey responses from Qualtrics, importing this data into R is cumbersome.The R package qualtRics (Ginn 2017) focuses on the retrieval of survey data using the Qualtrics API and aims to reduce the pre-processing steps needed to prepare this data for analysis.Currently, the package is the only package on CRAN that offers such functionality, and is included in the official Qualtrics API documentation (Qualtrics n.d.).
